Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

The other man's son is still in the emergency room, so it's fine for the father to scold him a few times. Yue Feng calmly looked at the situation in front of him and remained silent.

After Wang Shenglin finished venting and calmed down, Lao Ma approached him and gently patted him on the shoulder.

"Old Wang, calm down! Zheng Kui is a bit timid, but he came to give Xue Gang a blood transfusion, which is a way of making up for his mistake!"

Even if someone kills someone, it's just a matter of beheading them. He has some responsibility, but his crime doesn't warrant the death penalty, does it?
If you think about it the other way around, if he didn't want to take responsibility and just ran away, and when we came back to him he didn't know anything, wouldn't we have to wait until Xue Gang woke up to find out the truth?

Hunting is not something you can just do on a whim by grabbing any gun.

The old saying goes that this is called "blood money," meaning that only those who risk their lives can receive blood money!
"Once something happens, you have to accept it!"

Old Ma's words of comfort had a slight effect. Wang Shenglin gasped for breath, and a minute later, leaning against the hospital wall, he covered his head and slowly slid down to squat at the foot of the wall.

The son is in his prime, with elderly parents to care for and young children to raise. The family is relatively well-off and doesn't have a difficult life. If he were to die in an accident, the family would be completely ruined!

The more Wang Shenglin thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Seeing this, Yue Feng sighed, gave Li Zhengkui a wink, and the two left the operating room and headed straight for the restroom on the first floor.

Li Zhengkui didn't know why Yue Feng wanted to see him, but he tactfully followed him to the restroom.

Once inside the restroom, Yue Feng said in a deep voice, "When Wang Xuegang wakes up, you need to show some appreciation. Apologize when you should, and give him some money when you should!"
"We were temporarily assigned to help fight the bear, but you ran away in fear, causing Xuegang to get injured. If this misunderstanding isn't cleared up, it could create a lasting grudge!"

Li Zhengkui nodded, his voice full of gratitude as he said to Yue Feng, "That's what I was planning too! Luckily, the village committee's money covered everything, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to raise enough money to save their lives even if I sold everything I owned!"

"The village can provide the money, but we must ensure that the situation does not develop in an unstable direction!"

I just made things clear with Wang Shenglin. You two handle this privately and don't try to sabotage me!

The matter of protecting the autumn harvest and catching the vines just caused a conflict with the Zhou family yesterday. To shirk responsibility, Xiao Tao and his two brothers all turned themselves in and went to jail. If this matter is reported to higher authorities, it will be very difficult for me, the Party Secretary, to stay in my position!

We're all tough guys from the backstreets, so I won't beat around the bush. If this whole thing makes me uncomfortable, then you'll have to figure out how to make ends meet with the rest of the money. I'm not allocating any more funds to the mountain produce purchasing station's reserve fund!

After listening to Yue Feng's words, Li Zhengkui nodded: "I understand. I'll apologize to Xue Gang as soon as he wakes up! I'll definitely keep this under control and not cause any trouble for the village!"

Yue Feng nodded: "Okay, good that you know what I'm doing! I won't pee, I'll go back and keep watch. I reckon I'll be coming out of the operating room soon!"

After saying this, Yue Feng turned and left the restroom, but then turned back.

After Yue Feng walked away, Li Zhengkui kept repeating Yue Feng's words in his mind, and it took him a long time to calm down.

The group waited outside the operating room for almost another hour before the doctor in charge of treating the external injuries finally came out.

Wang Shenglin was the first to rush forward: "Doctor, doctor, how is my son's injury? Has he had surgery?"

The doctor looked up at Wang Shenglin: "Are you a relative of the injured person?"

"Yes, I'm his father! How is my son's injury?"

"The situation is a bit serious. We've done everything we could to treat it! He's still in a coma. If his condition stabilizes and no secondary infections occur, then it shouldn't be a big problem!"

"When will Xuegang wake up?" Wang Shenglin asked again, his face grim.

"It's hard to say. The injured person has lost a lot of blood and suffered severe trauma. They may wake up when the anesthesia wears off, or they may remain in a coma for a while!"

"Just take good care of her, are the hospital admission procedures done? She'll need someone by her side for the next while!"

"Okay!" Wang Shenglin replied listlessly, his expression growing increasingly serious.

Yue Feng overheard their conversation clearly. After Wang Shenglin finished asking his question, Yue Feng approached.

"Hello, are you Director Li? I'm a friend of Dean Hu! My name is Yue Feng, and I'm the village secretary from the village where this injured person was from!"

When Yue Feng introduced himself, Director Li of the emergency room immediately became much more enthusiastic.

"Hello, Secretary Yue! Is there anything else?"

Yue Feng asked, "The wounded don't need to go to the special observation room (ICUs weren't common in local hospitals at the time, but there were similar observation rooms)?"

Director Li glanced at the injured person's relatives, then at Yue Feng.

Yue Feng continued, "Just tell me the actual situation, there's no need to hide anything! The village committee will temporarily cover his medical expenses!"

Upon hearing this, Director Li said, "The injured are not in a very good condition. They have severe external injuries, massive blood loss and shock, and their internal organs have also suffered varying degrees of damage!"
Fortunately, his physical condition was quite good! He also received a blood transfusion in time!

If the situation stabilizes, things should gradually recover! However, if you're unlucky enough to get infected, it could be quite dangerous!

Let's keep him in the hospital for observation for now! I'll talk to the people in the department and ask them to take good care of him!

Yue Feng nodded: "Thank you so much! You've gone to so much trouble!"

"It's within my rights!"

"Um, the elderly person taking care of the sick needs a place to sleep. Are our beds in short supply? Could you arrange a private room for us?"

"Sure, I can help coordinate!"

"Thank you!"

……

Watching the surgeon leave, Yue Feng called out to Wang Shenglin, "We'll definitely need to arrange for someone to keep an eye on things at the hospital. Uncle Wang, you'll have to figure that out yourself!"

I will come regularly to prepay the hospital fees! Ward Director Li will arrange it!

Remember what I told you earlier!
There's nothing much to do here, I need to go back now!

Hearing Yue Feng say this, Wang Shenglin nodded repeatedly: "Okay, thank you for troubling the village! Thank you, Secretary Yue!"

"Let's go! Are any of you going back together? My motorcycle can carry a few more people back to the village!"

"Let's wait a bit, let's get tonight's needs sorted out first!"

"it is good!"

……

Yue Feng greeted them, then rode his bicycle away from the hospital and returned to Xing'an Village.

The village of Xing'an was in an uproar. News of a villager shooting a bear while protecting Qiu had spread like wildfire, and by the time Yue Feng returned home, even his wife, Wang Xiaona, knew about it.

After rushing to the hospital, paying out of pocket, and using his connections to arrange a ward, Yue Feng returned home as it was already completely dark.

Wang Xiaona leaned closer and asked with concern, "Xiaofeng, how are the wounded?"

"The situation is not very optimistic. The wound has been stitched up, but the person has lost too much blood and is still unconscious! We need to continue to observe the situation!"

“I feel like something’s not right about this!” Wang Xiaona suddenly said.

"Hmm? Something's not right?"

"You just took the injured person away on your bike. I was so happy that I didn't go home right away. Instead, I strolled around the streets for a while. A lot of Zhou family members heard the news and were gloating on the street!"

Zhou Yuansen had just had a conflict with Yue Feng, and now that the village's autumn harvest protection team has run into trouble, it's normal for the Zhou family to be gloating, since most people side with their own relatives regardless of right or wrong.

"What you're saying isn't right. Are they gloating?" Yue Feng continued to ask.

"That's not all. I saw Zhang Junhong come back from somewhere, chatting and laughing with the heads of the Zhou family. Later, he even went to Zhou Yuanshan's house!"

Zhou Yuansen and Zhou Yuanshan are uncles and brothers, living across the street from each other, and are very close. Zhang Junhong's visit to the Zhou family is quite a story.

Yue Feng nodded: "Okay, I understand!"
What's done is done; we'll deal with whatever comes our way!

If the Zhou family gets involved with Zhang Junhong and causes trouble, I won't mind dealing with them together!
At worst, I'll just lose face a little. They really think they can bring me down completely over these trivial matters? Let's stay calm and not worry too much!

Yue Feng spoke with considerable confidence, as the township government leaders were well aware of his background.

While Yue Feng, as the village secretary, does bear responsibility for these two incidents, it's not an irrefutable case of dereliction of duty that leaves no room for argument.

If village chief Zhang Junhong thinks he can find an opportunity to bring down Yue Feng because of what happened in the last day or two, he is being too naive.

It's true that Yue Feng cares about his reputation and doesn't want to give his superiors any leverage.

But when things really come to the table and are discussed, the people in charge will definitely have to think carefully about what's more important and what's less important before making any decision.

"Alright, you stay home with the kids, I need to go check out the north slope! I'm off!"

Yue Feng stayed inside for less than ten minutes, said a few words of reassurance to his wife, slung his gun over his shoulder, grabbed a flashlight, and left the house.

Since he had become the village secretary, he had to be responsible for all the villagers in the brigade. In addition to dealing with injuries, Yue Feng also had to go to the front line and emphasize the importance of safety to the villagers who were guarding the fields at night.

Yue Feng rode his motorcycle and quickly left the village, heading north.

After arriving at the end of the production road next to the cornfield on the north slope, I stopped the motorcycle, locked it, got off, and walked around the checkpoints for the autumn harvest night watch.

As night fell, the villagers were all in their designated spots. Yue Feng emphasized the importance of safety during the night watch, and then strolled over to the vicinity of the shack where Wang Xuegang and Li Zhengkui were on night watch.

Yue Feng had already learned most of the general situation from his inquiries with Wang Shenglin and Li Zhengkui, but as a top-notch hunter, Yue Feng still preferred to go to the actual site to see for himself.

Upon arriving at the crime scene, Yue Feng shone a flashlight and began to examine it carefully.

The scene of the incident was not far from the shack. There was a shell casing on the ground, an unexploded ordnance, and a lot of debris left from the explosion of white-skinned firecrackers.

Yue Feng looked around and found the location where the bear had released its food. He then carefully observed the area with his flashlight.

Soon, Yue Feng made a new discovery.

Not far away, beneath a jujube vine, Yue Feng discovered a distinct spray of blood.

After several hours of fussing, the bloodstains on the ground had become semi-congealed, a standard dark red with a slight purple tinge, characteristic of bear blood.

Judging from the state of the bloodstains on the ground, Yue Feng knew that Wang Xuegang's first shot must have hit the target. The splattering blood and the obvious blood pool indicated that the bullet must have hit the torso, but it was not fatal in the short term.

No wonder something bad happened; the mother bear with her cubs was shot, and the debuff is almost fully stacked.

After mentally reconstructing the specific circumstances based on the details of the scene, Yue Feng narrowed his eyes.

This injured mother bear with cubs is a very unstable and dangerous factor.

If they return to the area after being driven away and continue to fatten up for winter, they are even more dangerous than male bears if they encounter villagers again.

"If you know what's good for you, leave and don't come back. Otherwise, even if you bring your child, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Yue Feng muttered to himself as he faced the dark forest.

After wandering around the forest edge on the north slope for a long time, Yue Feng returned the way he came and rode his motorcycle home.

Wang Xiaona had already coaxed Kaixin to sleep, and while autumn insects chirped outside the window, Yue Feng felt a little heavy-hearted.

"You're back?" Wang Xiaona called out to her husband softly.

"Yeah! I went for a walk around the forest edge on the north slope. Wang Xue just fired a shot and wounded the mother bear with her cubs! I went to check the scene!" Yue Feng whispered to his wife.

"What are you planning to do? Wait until dawn tomorrow, then take the hunting dogs and deal with the bear?"

Wang Xiaona understands her husband's personality very well. Now that life is better and the family is not short of money.

Yue Feng's attitude towards these large mountain animals has undergone a subtle change, especially towards mother bears with cubs, whom he fundamentally does not want to hunt.

Yue Feng took a deep breath: "It's hard to say now. If it gets injured, escapes, and never shows its face again, then we'll just have to accept that they're lucky to be alive!"
If another accident occurs, it will be a menace and must be eliminated! No matter how precious a bear's life may be, it's not as precious as a human life!

Wang Xiaona: "Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen, and Xiao Wu haven't come out yet. Can you manage on your own?"
If all else fails, ask Brother Zhao to come along, or go up the mountain and find a master to keep you company!
The tall crops are blocking the view everywhere now, it's not safe to hunt those things. Who knows which bush it's hiding in!

Yue Feng nodded: "I know what I'm doing! No rush, let's see how things go in the next day or two!"
If it doesn't show itself, it must have gone back to the mountains!
If you keep wandering around at the foot of the mountain, you're bound to run into the villagers again!
I've already explained the seriousness of the situation to the villagers who are on night watch to protect the autumn crops. They'll report to me immediately if they see anything!

Seeing her husband's slightly furrowed brows and tired expression, Wang Xiaona felt a pang of heartache.

Her lips parted slightly, but she couldn't say anything.

"What's wrong?" Yue Feng noticed the details in his wife's expression and asked with concern.

"Honey, there's something I'm not sure if I should say!"

"Go ahead and say it!"

"If you don't want to be the village secretary anymore, why don't we just tell you and resign? It's all troublesome all the time, and there's no benefit to it at all!" (End of Chapter)
